[Intro]
(Ah)

[Verse 1]
Oh, baby, your tongue set a fire
I was doomed when you kissed me in the kitchen
Your lips (Your lips) tasted like (Tasted like)
Dark red wine and reckless decisions

[Pre-Chorus]
Satin sheets, Christian Dior
Our own clothes fell down to the floor

Yeah, that night was two years ago (Two years ago)
And I’m still sleeping in this bed we made of fu*king and fighting each day
I try to leave, but I just stay

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve got (Ah) skin in the game
You touch me
And letting go just goes down the drain
I’ve got (Ah) skin in the game
I try to love myself, but it’s not the same (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
I’m not gonna play anymore
Screaming, “I hate you,” walk away
I’m not gonna wait anymore
Every time I think that I’m okay, I end up (Ah) back at your place
‘Cause I’ve got skin in the game

[Verse 2]
Yeah, baby, sometimes (Sometimes) I try (I try)
And I try (Try) ’til I almost cross the line

[Pre-Chorus]
Of dancing with somebody else
I kiss his lips and never tell

But he won’t feel the way you felt
No, I can’t help it

[Chorus]
I’ve got (Ah) skin in the game
You touch me
And letting go just goes down the drain
I’ve got (Ah) skin in the game
I try to love myself, but it’s not the same
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
I’m not gonna play anymore (Oh, yeah)
Screaming, “I hate you,” walk away
I’m not gonna wait anymore (Oh)
Every time I think that I’m okay, I end up (Ah) back at your place
‘Cause I’ve got skin in the game

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, I’ve got (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, I’ve got skin in the game (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, I’ve got (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, I’ve got skin in the game (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
